Can You Really Get Paid To Read Email?

The answer is yes. You can get paid to read email. Unfortunately, the amount you make isn't enough to do much with. You'd be lucky if you made enough to cash in once a year.

If you sign up to one of these paid email sites, don't expect to make more than a few cents a day, if that. Most of the time you get paid only 1 cent to read each email and you only receive so many per week. Some of these companies will pay higher but it's rare. Essentially you get paid a measly cent to read advertisements for work at home jobs that have got to be scams.

This is right up there with those survey sites. Go ahead and give it a try but don't say you weren't warned.

Paid Surveys

Paid surveys are popping up all over the internet. Any work at home searches you do will result in many of them. But are they worth trying?

Many of these sites promise cash payments and even go so far as to make claims of the ability to make up to $100 a day. Not true. In my online travels I have yet to see this be reality. I tried signing up for a few of these sites and to date I have made next to nothing. Of course I also didn't invest the amount of required time into it. To make a few cents off each one you must register at each separate survey site and then wait for them to email you a survey.

If you want to give it a try for a few extra bucks, it's worth a shot. But if you think it's a good way to make a regular income, don't hold your breath. A lot of the survey sites don't even offer cash rewards but points instead that you save up and redeem later for merchandise. I find those sites to be more of a waste of time than anything else.
